Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for transmitting pulling and braking forces between pivotless bogies and the main frame of bogie-rail vehicles, especially self-propelled vehicles, in which symmetrically with regard to the central longitudinal axis of the rail vehicle, on both vehicle sides, pressing rods and pulling rods on one hand are connected with the bogies at their outer side and on the other hand are connected to the hydraulic cylinders which are connected to the main frame, and in which device the corresponding working chambers of the hydraulic cylinders are on both sides in fluid communication with each other.
  • FIG. 1a illustrates in side view a vehicle equipped with the device according to the invention and comprising two 2-axle bogies which through the intervention of four pulling-pressing rods are connected to hydraulic cylinders fastened to the main frame.
  • FIG. 1b shows the device according to the invention in the cutting plane located at the level of the bottom edge of the main frame, as seen from above.
  • FIG. 2 diagrammatically shows the hydraulic system of the device with the working pistons occupying their normal position.
  • FIG. 3 diagrammatically illustrates the hydraulic system of the device with the working pistons occupying their extreme position and with the bogies in pivoted position.
  • FIGS. 3a and 3b illustrate the position of the working pistons which, when viewed in driving direction, operate on the left and right hand side of the main frame, while the vehicle passes through a curved rail track.
  • FIG. 4a shows a unilaterally fastened telescopic bar between the working pistons.
  • FIG. 4b shows a telescopic bar between the working pistons which is freely guided on both sides.
  • the device according to the present invention is characterized primarily in that between two bogies on each vehicle side only one hydraulic cylinder is provided which comprises two separately acting working pistons with one pressing and pulling rod each.
  • the device according to the invention is furthermore characterized in that each of the three working chambers of the hydraulic cylinder, which working chambers are formed by the two working pistons, communicate on one side with the corresponding working chamber of the hydraulic cylinder on the other vehicle side through connecting lines.
  • This design has the advantage that for a rail vehicle equipped with two bogies, only two hydraulic cylinders are required. By the employment of only one cylinder pair with three working chambers each, also only three connecting lines are required. This design is simple, and saves weight and cost.
  • Each of the three connecting lines is expediently equipped with a pressure reservoir.
  • This pressure reservoir is necessary not only for compensating for leakage losses and changes in volume at major temperature variations, but also has the advantage of furnishing an adjustable elasticity during the power transmission. In this way, the entire vehicle is less stressed, and the various oscillations which occur during the operation of the rail vehicle are reduced in a particularly favorable manner.
  • the hydraulic cylinder 13 illustrated in FIG. 1a has two pistons 15 and 16 which divide the hydraulic cylinder into three working chambers 17, 18 and 19.
  • the working chambers 17, 18 and 19 are filled with hydraulic oil.
  • Each piston rod 14 is linked to one pulling-pressing rod 20 which in its turn is connected to the bogies 11 and 11' respectively.
  • the piston rods 14 and thus the pulling-pressing rods 20 are illustrated in their normal position, that means in a position during straightforward drive of the rail vehicle. Furthermore, the drawing shows the position of the conduits 24, 25 and 26 which interconnect the three working chambers 17, 18 and 19 of the working piston. Each of the three conduits is equipped with a pressure reservoir 21, 22 and 23.
  • Differential pull and pressure forces of the bogies 11 and 12 are thus cushioned or reduced in conformity with the set elastic preload.
  • Differential pull and pressure forces of the bogies 11 and 12 are thus cushioned or reduced in conformity with the set elastic preload.
  • Differential pull and pressure forces of the bogies 11 and 12 are thus cushioned or reduced in conformity with the set elastic preload.
  • Different longitudinal movements of the bogies 11, 11' relative to the main frame can be compensated for by the described hydraulic device.
  • the bogies 11 and 11' drive in opposite driving direction, or when the rail vehicle is braked, the described operations are carried out in the reverse sequence.
  • FIGS. 3, 3a and 3b show the bogies while passing through a very narrow rounded railway track section, in this instance a right hand railway track section.
  • the rail vehicle moves in the direction of the arrow.
  • the bogies turn about an ideal pivot point 27, 27' respectively.
  • the piston 15 which is displaced in driving direction, reduces the working chamber 17, and thus displaces the pressure medium in said working chamber.
  • the position of the other oppositely located piston 15' can be seen in FIG. 3b.
  • This piston 15' moves in a direction counter to the driving direction and thus increases the working chamber 17' whereby the pressure medium displaced from the chamber 17 flows into the working chamber 17' through the connecting line 24.
  • the piston 16 is displaced in a direction counter to the driving direction while by reducing the working chamber 18, the pressure medium in said last mentioned working chamber 18 is displaced into the workcing chamber 18' by means of the connection 25.
  • the piston 16' is by the pressure of the pressure medium and the pressure of the rod 20 linked thereto displaced in driving direction.
  • the pressure medium in the chambers 19, 19' as well as in the connecting line 26 acts as a buffer.
  • the working chamber 19 located therebetween is increased and receives the pressure medium displaced from the reduced working chamber 19'.
  • the bogies 11 and 11' will when passing through a rounded railway track section move into a position at an angle to the longitudinal central axis of the rail vehicle.
  • the pulling and pressing forces which occur in this connection are by rods 20 directed into the pistons 15, 16 and 15' respectively.
  • the total length of the hydraulic cylinder which is derived from the working chamber 17, 18 and 19 and 17', 18' and 19' respectively is so dimensioned that the pistons 15 and 16 and 15' and 16' respectively can still freely move within the hydraulic cylinder even with the smallest possible railway track radius.
  • the piston sides defining the chambers 19, 19' have larger effective piston surfaces than the piston sides defining the chambers 17, 17' and 18, 18' respectively.
  • this feature can be realized by means of a bar 38 fixedly arranged on one piston, for instance piston 16.
  • the free end 39 of bar 38 is freely, i.e., without frictional connection, guided in the bore 40 of the other piston 15 and of the pertaining piston rod 14.
  • the ends of bar 41 are freely guided in the bore of a piston (15 and 16) and the pertaining piston rod.
  • the bar 41 is held in the middle between the working pistons 15 and 16 by means of springs 42 which are held on the bottom of bore 40.
  • the diameter D 38 of the telescopically designed bars 38, 41 respectively is less than the diameter D 14 of the piston rods 14 under load.
  • the ratio D 14 /D 38 should, however, be as small as possible so that the piston surfaces of the working pistons 15, 15, 15' and 16' respectively, which piston surfaces define the intermediate working chambers 19, 19' will as far as possible be equal to the piston surfaces defining the outer working chambers 17, 18 and 17', 18' respectively.
  • the hydraulic cylinders 13 are then in a manner known per se within the region of the inner end wheel set of the bogie 11 connected below the lateral longitudinal beam of the main frame 12, whereas the pertaining piston rods 14 are respectively connected at one end to the bogie 11 by means of the pulling and pressing rods 20 which are at that end cardanically linked.
  • the three connecting conduits 24, 25, 26 are provided with feed valves 28, 29, 30 which are connected to a delivery pump or a pressure reservoir 34.
  • the three connecting conduits 24, 25, 26 are furthermore provided with outlet valves 31, 32, 33 as well as with pressure reservoirs 21, 22 23 by means of which when necessary, as for instance for compensating for leakage losses, the quantity and pressure of the hydraulic fluid can be controlled in these conduits.
  • the connecting lines 24, 25 and 26 are additionally provided with safety valves 35, 36 and 37.
  • the piston rods may be provided with a measuring scale by means of which a checking of the actual positions of the pistons in cylinder 13 will be possible.
